new machine

Post by richie » Fri Feb 24, 2012 2:41 pm

i have been using a resmed s8 elite for the last few years. my insurance co. informs me that it's time for me to order another machine. has anything come on the market the last few years that is better than the s8 elite and do they even make it anymore?

S8 line of machines have been discontinued. The replacement line is the S9 model series.
Uses SD card for data storage so no longer any need for smart cards or the smart card reader.

S9 Escape...no data except hours of use.

S9 Elite (CPAP) and S9 Autoset (APAP)...full data for both.

S9 Auto Escape..APAP with minimal data.. AHI and average pressure along with hours of use.
